Our Locations

Ready to join the fun?

Choose from three thoughtfully designed locations in midtown Toronto, each offering unique ways to learn, play, and grow.

Can caregivers switch week by week?

Of course! We know it takes a village! As long as everyone’s listed on your account, they’re welcome to join the fun. Just give us a heads-up and introduce yourself when you enter so we can say hi by name!

Do classes repeat or change each session?

The structure stays the same for comfort and routine, but themes, songs, and activities change every session – so there’s always something new for your Smartie to explore!

Can siblings or babies tag along to a class?

We get it – sometimes you’ve got an extra sidekick in tow! 👶 Babies are welcome to tag along in a carrier or bucket seat during caregiver classes. Once they’re on the move, though, they’ll need their own spot (since grown-ups need to keep eyes on their enrolled Smartie). If you’re ever in a bind – say a sibling’s home from school – just shoot us an email and we’ll do our best to make it work!

What if my child’s nap schedule changes or a class time no longer works?

We’re super flexible! If your schedule shifts, just reach out – we’ll do our best to move you into another class. And if nothing fits, we’ll place a credit on your account for future use. We know routines change, and we want Smartiepants to fit into your family’s rhythm – not the other way around.

My child is over 3 years old, are there classes for older kids now?

Yes! We’re thrilled to introduce SmartieAdventures (drop off), where kids explore weekly missions in art, nature, heart health, and more. AND for children 4 years + we also offer SmartieArtists and Social Butterflies (both drop off) – creative, confidence-building classes that grow right alongside your little learner.

We’ll be away for part of this session – should we wait until next time?

No need to miss out! Email us closer to the Session start date – and if a class is not full, we may be able to pro-rate it for you.

Or, purchase a Drop-in Play Pack and come to drop-in play times when you’re in town!

My child will be in daycare or school during the week – is it still worth registering?

Absolutely! We have BRAND NEW weekend classes designed just for families who can’t join us during the week. Plus, we also offer Drop-In Play packs and host magical birthday parties so your little one can still enjoy all the Smartiepants fun on weekends or special occasions!

What’s your policy if we need to cancel our class session?

Life happens (and so do nap changes)! If you need to cancel your session for any reason, we’ll pop a credit on your account that never expires. You can use it anytime – for a future session, drop-in play, or even a Smartie birthday party.

Do you offer make-ups or refunds for missed classes?

We don’t offer make-up classes, but we do give you a drop-in play pass for each class you miss – as long as you let us know before or within 12 hours after the class. That way, your little one still gets their Smartie fix, and you get a fun bonus playdate later on!

Can I sign up for one-off classes/pro-rated session?

All of our programs run in sessions (same class, same time each week), but if spots are still open once the session starts, we can usually offer a pro-rated spot or a one-off trial. Just shoot us an email and we’ll do our best to fit you in!

We also run Free Classes for New Families 1-2 times per month. So if you’re new to Smartie – click here to check them out!

My child isn’t exactly in the age range listed – can they still join?

Absolutely! The ages listed are just gentle guidelines. If your Smartie is a bit younger or older and the class feels like the right fit, we’d love to have them. Our instructors are great at adjusting for each child’s stage and confidence level.

Can I bring my stroller inside?

We love a good stroller brigade — but to keep our spaces safe and uncluttered, strollers stay outside. At Smartiepants + SmartieGym Forest Hill, you can park right by our front windows (bring a lock if you’d like). At SmartieGym St. Clair, we even have a stroller lock system for the our outdoor terrace. You can always bring in your bucket seat or bags!

How many adults can join drop-in play?

We recommend one adult per child so everyone has room to roam and play. If you bring a second grown-up (hi Grandma 👋), we’ll do our best to accommodate – but we might ask one to hang back in the entrance area if it’s a full house.

Do babies come free to drop-in play?

Yup! Babies under 12 months are free when they tag along with a paid sibling. If it’s just baby joining the fun, you’ll simply purchase a regular drop-in slot for them.

Can I cancel my drop-in play timeslot online?

Yes! Just log into your account and hit “Cancel.” If you cancel 2 hours before your timeslot, your pass goes right back into your account for later use. Inside 2 hours, we can’t credit it – but we always appreciate the heads-up so another Smartie family can jump in!

Do I have to email if I am going to miss a class?

Only if you’d like your drop-in play pass for that missed class (and we think you will 😉). Just send us a quick note before or on the day of your missed class, and we’ll make sure the credit lands in your account.

Where do I park?

There’s lots of street parking nearby plus Green P spots close to some locations. If you can’t spot the parking code, ask our team – we’ll share the Green P code faster than you can say “Smartiepants.”

Do you host birthday parties?

Oh, do we ever 🎉. We throw the most seamless, laughter-filled birthday parties in the city – Saturdays and Sundays at both SmartieGym locations. You get the whole space to yourself, no cleanup, and lots of happy chaos (the good kind).

Any allergy or food rules I should know about?

Yes – we’re proudly nut-free at all three locations. We also collect allergy info for every class and share it during Week 1 so everyone stays safe. Be sure your profile’s up to date with any dietary notes – we’re sticklers about keeping all our Smarties safe.
